    I am having problems trying to save an excel spreadsheet as text without tab or space delimiting. Does anyone know how to do this. I have been playing around with the setting and saving as Text MSdos but to no avail.

    I don't think it's possible to save an EXCEL Spreadsheet in plain text without some kind of delimiter. To be fair, what use would a lot of columner data be without it being delimited in some form. You'd end up with one long string.

    You could export as say a comma delimited file, and then open it in notepad and use replace to replace all commas with nothing, or a single space or something like that.
